The closed cell foam (weather proof stuff, self adhesive) was used to seal
the opening in the plenum to keep water from getting into the interior.  The
more spongy type is used to surround the edges if the heater core, and seal
it in the box.  I'm thinking stuff similar to what is packaged with in
window home air conditioners.... probably available at your Home Depot,
Lowes or Sears type stores...

You'd need closed-cell foam, right?
Anyone know where to find this stuff?... not the local upholstery shop,
surely.

Any Home Depot or like store with good plumbing/heating supplies.
Comes in rolls 2-3X more than you need for ~$5.
